Sounds like a perfect storm for a new Magic killer to be born.

Any bets on who?

We need to pay close attention how to defend Harden- Zubac pick&roll.

a conclusion to what exactly though? 600+ games in his career being 36-40% are a fluke and he's doomed to be a 24% guy in 15 games?

This is probably because his name is almost covered by the bottom bar of the graphic. :lol:

Well, that kinda goes with the archetype. His playmaking with that scoring ability is really what you get excited about.

yeah...all 4 have been worthy All-Stars and Mitchell & Mobley might be every year forward. Garland & Allen are no slouches either. It's kind of exciting that Atkinson is making it work when so many (me included) felt they were do for a breakup due to redundancy.


I’m actually pretty good grammatically…except here for some reason…I think I’m just so eager to spit out my takes…


Skybox, you are actually very good grammatically. You just lost me here.

I am assuming what you meant was they have 4 players playing at an all-star level this year.

But to me, all-star is a very very big accolade. I didn't really see four all-stars last year. But, and hear me out. Maybe I am wrong because I didn't get to see the entire team.

This is the reason why the board is always in a frenzy. They want the playmaking players who are practiced matadors on the defensive side because the other 4 will pick it up.

This is partly true. I do think if the right player comes along we would make it work. But we are talking about Schroeder being our current guy.

Franz is a gem to be able to play offense AND defense at the level he does. In reality, so is Suggs, though not as much of a 2-way player. KCP and Harris are a perfect example of your offensive energy when defense is what you are focused on.

Ya'know, last year, we could make an arguement that Franz + Paolo held back our 3% stats. This year however is a 100% opposite day. The rest of the team are collectively saying "hold my beer" regarding the 3-ball.
